      <p>North Rock Hill Kid&rsquo;s exists to partner with parents to lead children to become disciples who change the
      world. Each Sunday children ages 2 through 5 to engage in worship, hear the Bible presented to them in a fun and
      captivating way, and participate in age-graded small groups where they will apply what they learn to everyday
      life.  Our littlest ones, birth-one year, are cared for and loved on throughout the morning as volunteers begin to
      introduce God&rsquo;s love and God&rsquo;s Word to them.  We believe that God th grade will have the opportunity
      designed the family to be the primary influence in a child's life, and so we equip families with resources to
      continue Sunday's conversations throughout the week.</p>

      <h2>What to Expect</h2>

      <p>Upon arriving, look for our logo on walls, upstairs or downstairs.  The Kids Check In stations 
      are close by! There one of our volunteers will help you register your child, and you can 
      let us know about any allergies or special concerns you may have. You will also have an 
      opportunity to see where your child will be going, and meet those who will be serving your 
      child. You can be assured that each volunteer working with your child loves Jesus and has 
      passed a background check. Security is important to us, so you will be given a numbered
      security tag. Should you be needed during the worship service, the number will be displayed
      in the auditorium. Your security tag will also ensure only you can pick up your child following 
      the worship service.</p>

        <p>North Rock Hill Student Ministry seeks to encourage, equip, and empower students 
        to grow as followers of Christ and make disciples in their specific context. It is our 
        desire for students to learn what it means to Glorify God by making disciples who 
        change the world. This is done in the following ways:</p>

        <ul>
            <li><b>Encourage:</b> We desire to encourage students to grow in their understanding 
            of what it means to be a follower of Christ. This involves partnering with 
            parents in the spiritual formation of their student. </li>

            <li><b>Equip:</b> We desire to equip students by providing weekly worship, teaching, 
            and discussion that facilitate spiritual growth and discipleship.</li>

            <li><b>Empower:</b> We desire to empower students by offering environments and 
            opportunities for missional living and service. This includes retreats and 
            mission trips that assist in spiritual growth and discipleship. </li>
        </ul>

        <p>Our trained volunteers and parents long to see students transformed by the Gospel 
        so that they might embody what we believe to be the marks of a disciple – Love, 
        Grow, Serve, Share. </p>

        <h2>Weekly Gathering </h2>

        <p>North Rock Hill Student Ministry gathers on Wednesday Nights from 6:30-8:00. 
        This is for both middle and high school students. During this time we provide 
        corporate worship, large-group teaching, and small group discussion. Our small 
        groups are gender and grade divided in order to provide students an environment 
        to process biblical truths taught in our large-group teaching time. </p>

        <h2>What to Expect </h2>

        <p>Upon arriving at North Rock Hill Church please enter through the front of the 
        building through the glass doors. Students will check-in and hang out with 
        volunteers and other students until worship begins. Students will then gather for a 
        time of worship and large-group teaching. After worship, students will divide into 
        small groups to process and discuss how the biblical truths presented during our 
        large-group teaching apply to their specific context. </p>

        <p>Other opportunities such as retreats, mission trips, and service projects will take 
        place throughout the year.</p>

      <p>Church isn&rsquo;t a place you go; it isn&rsquo;t an event. The Bible says it is a people who have been rescued
      from slavery to themselves into a new family, a new community.  In this community we join God in His redeeming
      work. We believe that the best place to grow in this kind of community is in a small group.  These groups of 8-12
      people passionately pursue Christ by doing life together, studying the Bible, serving our city, and making
      disciples.  Ready to take this step?</p>

      <h2>How Do I Try a Group?</h2>

      <img src="http://nrhc-pages.northrockhill.com/ipad-buttons/d-group.jpg" alt="D groups" class="right" style="margin-left: 1em;">

      <p>Click the group contact button below. After submitting your group request, you will be contacted by a group leader
      with more information regarding a group that fits you. They will invite you to the next group meeting. This experience
      will give you opportunity to spend about 90 minutes with the group. A group's meetings may vary in style from week to
      week (social, study, serving, all guys, or all ladies), so we encourage you to try several meetings.</p>

      <h2>What About Childcare?</h2>

      <p>Many groups arrange their own childcare. For those who don't, NRHC offers childcare reimbursement vouchers. These
      vouchers are available through your group leader and may be submitted to the church office for reimbursement of
      childcare expenses at a predetermined rate.</p>

  <header><h1>Missions</h1></header>

  <p>North Rock Hill seeks to make disciples who change the world. We believe God is calling us to see that every man,
  woman, and child has repeated opportunities to see, hear, and respond to the gospel. This starts in our Sunday
  worship gatherings, continues into our city, and ultimately seeks to reach the ends of the earth</p>

      <p>World change starts in the places where we live, work, and play, and continues to the ends of the earth. It
      means inviting our neighbors to Sunday worship gatherings and then serving them from NRHC ministry teams. It
      means working with your Small Group to show and share the gospel with our&nbsp;city.</p>

      <p>The world desperately needs to both see and hear the gospel. God has entrusted us with positions and means of

      environments. North Rock Hill offers short-term classes in areas of great need such as personal finance and marriage.

  <header><h1>Care & Counseling</h1></header>

  <p>God has called and equipped Christians to care for one another by encouraging growth toward Christ-likeness and
  bearing one another&rsquo;s burdens. The best place to experience these kind of caring relationships is in Small
  Groups. If you are in need of biblical counsel and care, we encourage you to first talk with your Small Group leader.
  If you are not in a group, we encourage you to try one.</p>

      <h2>Individual Counseling</h2>

      <p>Small Groups provide the best ongoing care and encouragement, but some situations require more professional
      counseling. North Rock Hill maintains a strong network of staff pastoral counselors for short-term needs as well
      as licensed professional counselors for more long-term care. All sessions are confidential. For more information,
      submit a counseling request.</p>

      <h2>Pre-Marital Counseling</h2>

      <p>Marriage is the bringing together of two imperfect people. What works for the single person or even engaged couple won't work for the long haul unless a healthy, biblical foundation is laid. North Rock Hill is passionate about healthy, biblical marriages, and therefore we recommend pre-marital counseling for all couples pursuing marriage, and require it for any marriages performed by NRHC staff. For more information, submit a pre-marital counseling request.</p>
